THE LONDON , JOURNALS. DAILY Extracispinithe Morning Papers, March 9, 1826. [NEW TIMES.] A Morning Contemporary has been running down, in its way ) the country gentlemen, and among the rest we observe that Sir F. Burdett comes in for his share of its elegant satire, on acs count of his aristocratical notions. It is somewhat whimsical to see s while the worthy•Baronet,more matured in years and wisdom, is gradually aban doning many of those extravagant ideas, to say the least of them, which he sported when younger and less thoughtful, the hoary-headed Chronicle, lapsing into those vagaries which nothing but the Youth heedlessness of hey-day ou th can palliate, at tempting to twist his wrinkles into a smile, and to - pans off a totter fora . caper. On the goodness or badness of the Corn Laws, we think It no great imputation of folly to healtate in deciding, when we . re collect that they have been defended by Malthus and condemned by Ricardo.— It, surely, when such doctors doubt, does not , become men in every respect so in finitely their inferiors to dogmatise. That the country gentlemen 'should agree with Mr. Malthue does not really appear to us very won. derful : this is merely saying that they are men, and we never heard that they pretended to be more. With respect to the Game Laws, where did the learned Theban find out that we owed them to the country gentlemen ? We had thought hitherto that we owed them to a higher source— to our Kings themselves. We believe that a system of Game Laws, and a most sanguinary one, may be found among those of William the Bastard : they were then the subject of much complaint, and they have been in a gradual course of mitigation ever since. We do not say that they may not be farther amended, but, it would be just as fair and as fitting, we think, to attri bute their abuses to the merchants who bribe the poacher, as to the country gentlemen who prosecutes Wm; for the utmost extent of the evil inflicted on the community, by the Game Laws, is the system of poaching which they tend to ge nerate. We have but little faith in the doctrine, that virtue is more frequently found in the country than in the town. But, without arro. gating for our country gentlemen a greater share of honour and virtue than those of the town, we may safely challenge any one to point us out their equals in any kingdom beside. Their very prejudices, their love of old customs and old laws, are all honest and English horn. It is most wicked and most foolish to endeavour to stir up the lower against the - higher classes at any time. It is peculiarly so just now, when the sufferings of the latter render them more than ordinarily disposed to quarrel with those arrangements of society from which they may think they derive but little advantage. It savours of the worst school of politics of those who would persuade us, that a man cannot be a hearty lover of his country, unless h e he a hearty hater of his emus trymen—as if, in truth, the love of Old England were an abitract feeling, and did not, in reality, comprehend in it the love of all those classes of which Old England is made up, of her King, of her nobles, of her dwellers in cities, and her dwellers in the plains. [MORNING PosT.l Already have the beneficial effects of the mea sures adopted for the relief of the commercial world become manifested, hi the grateful ac. knowledgment of the persons most deeply inte ,rested, of the happy consequences thus early re. suiting frem them,--It will be seen by our Re pert of the proceedings of the House of Commons last night, that Mr. Huskisson, on bringing in his Bill to apply the Law of Merchant and Factor to any goods on which the Bank of England may have adva nced money, communicated the Cheering fact, which was amply confirmed by Mr. Baring, that a material improvement had already been effected io those (Infiniti to which the relief in question had been applied, in con sequence of no difficulty or reluctance hav ing been felt by the parties interested in accepting through the Bank the aecommo.! dodoes so wisely and prudently recommended by Ministers. It was expressly admitted, even by one of the principal opposers of the measure When it was first brought forward (Mr. Baring), 44 that the plan for affording relief to the Public " had already been productive of great advantage, " and that the conduct of the Bank was most " praiseworthy. They had proceeded to act upon the measure with the greatest rapidity, " and by consulting the pressing nature of the "circumstances of those who required relief, they " had rendered it doubly beneficial. He could " speak from his own knowledge .to the fact that "- a decided improvement in confidence and in 66 circulation of trade had been visible within the " last three days; and it could not be doubted " that 'the measure which the Government " had adopted, aided by the liberal conduct of " the Bank in carrying it into effect, had pro. "'duce& that - gratifying change." This most cheering result we bed the happiness early to predict, in opposition to the sentiments of most of our contemporaries; and we cannot now deny ourselves the gratification of offering our most cordial congratulations to the public, on so speedy a realization of our hopes, and the full accomplishment of so truly happy an event.-= - - In addition to the satisfactory assurances above stated, it will be ,seen that Mr. ilaskisson in formed-the House, 44 that on Friday the Bank had .made arrangements,with the Deputation from Manchester; on Saturday they also arranged with the Deputation. from Glasgow, and since that he understood that the Deputation from Leeds bad also satisfactorily.'aCtomplisbed' their object and returned home, TN. awstilifee . tlititinfroided, hod given perfect satisfaction to all th o s e p ar tie s , and would enable them to keep th e i r ma n u f a t. Were in a state of employment. He had seen all these Deputations, and it was impossible'that men could be impressed with a more reattomihde and correct view of the state in which they were fortunately placed, and' of the cause's which had led to their present situation. This being time case, they were not disposed to undertake more work at present than would enable their labourers to subsist, and thus the present overstocked state of the market would speedily subside and in a short period he hop ed to see the tran3actions of commerce running hi their usual channel;without requiring any further support from artificial credit." rTHE TIMES. We hinted a suspicion yesterday, that the rise in the money-market might not be progressive or permanent ; and our report published this day confirms our apprehension. The price of, stock, which had before risen, fell about one per cent.; and tidings arrived from the country of the failure of another country bank of considerable impor tance. We use the word " failure," because it very briefly describes what till now was gene rally considered as a very intelligible fact. At present, however, matters are so mystified, that the inability of a house to pay the demands upon it is to be understood as implying that there are funds behind, which will not only satisfy all the creditors,but enable all the partners to live in affluence for the rest of all their lives. We do not " give in" to these assertions of Gol conda mines in reserve: indeed, we have known cases—and we mean to confine this remark in London chiefly--but we have known cases wherein balance-sheets have been produced, evincing abundant assests, where the creditors will not receive half-a-crown in the pound. These balance-sheets have become very fright ful grievances, and reflect much more upon the integrity of those who put' them forth, than the plain bona fide bankruptcy. Indeed, we have hardly known an instance of absolute failure in which a balance-sheet has not been jun. mediately produced, showing the surplus assets, the wealth of those who have stopped payment. We would advise creditors to look to these docu ments with distrust ; and the circumstance of their obtaining no credit will put ,an end to the fabrication of them, and prevent all the moral guilt of needless falsehood. The fall in the price of teas at the India House ought to diminish the price also to the consumer. Tea is an important article of domestic consumption hi the poorest fa unifies ; and however we may regret that, yet it is also matter of congratulation that the price of tea ought to decline—and, if the venders of it have not more callous consciences than the ven ders of gin, will decline--just after the noxious spirit has sunk in value also ; so that tea may be enabled to enter into , a fair competition with gin, both at reduced prices. A great clamour is raised against extending the Act for the suppression of country small notes to Scotland ; as if it were possible to limit the operation of the proposed Act to the counties of England. It would be less absurd to impose it on the bankers of Yorkshire, and to leave those of Westmore land free'to issue their 11. and W. paper. But every one knows now what the Scotch Banks are as to stability and security. The discussions in the Douse of Commons last night, though of no protracted kind, are interesting. Various Mem. hers, on the introduction of Mr. Illuskisson's new law of merchant and factor, took occasion to speak of the improving state or the commercial world, from the assistance granted by the Bank. We merely state their sentiments the time of borrowing money is always a halcyon time ; it diffuses an unsound but flattering abundance. , - The season of repayment is that of difficulty. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Earl of Limerick assured their Lordships, last night, " thut whenever the question of the Corn Laws was agitated, their table would groan tinder petitions against alterations, from Ireland." There are few points, r esp ect i ng which we should feel less hesitation in taking his Lordship's as- SUratICO than that of the power of the Irish land lords over their numerous and flourishing re. nantry. As — there are at least fifty times ns many tenants in Ireland as in England, nearly all freeholders into the bargain ; and as all these worthies are ready at the word of command, either to vote for Members of Par liament, or to petition Parliament, till the table groan again, the Irish Petitions are sure to weigh with their Lordships. Mr. NVakefield assures us, that it was no unusual thing to see a regiment of Freeholders driven up to the Poll, who did not even know the names of the Candi dates for whom'they were to vote. It is as easy to petition as to vote. Last night some grievous defects in our law, which ought to have been remedied long ago, were brought under the consideration of the House of Commons. We rejoice to see that the subject has been taken up by Mr. Iluskisson; for without the Government lend itself to measures of reform, it is with the utmost difficulty they can be carried. The Law of Partnership, the Law Of Landlord and Tenant, call loudly for al. teration ; and we trust that they will be taken up without loss of time. The Law of Mer. chant and Factor, as altered by the Bill of last Session, is to take effect immediately, instead of the Ist of October next,in order to facilitate the arrangements between the Bank of England and the pledgers of goods.—ft is gratifying to hear Ministers state, that the Deputations from Man. chaster, Glasgow, and Leeds, were satisfied with the relief grunted to them, and that the applies. d o ns for advances on goods have only hitherto been made by manufacturers (and not by mer. chants), for the purpose of keeping their work. men ent ploy ed [MORNING HERALD.] The French Chamber of Deputies, we see, have been occupied with a proposal to put an end to their Stock Exchange gambling. That our Paris neighbours should be scandalized by such practices sounds a little strange to English ears, es we are in the habit of giving them credit for much greater expertness and experience in these matters than ourselves. The truth, however, we believe to be, that the two nations have been mutual instructors of each other in these g ames of chance. Our City Ilell, we suspect, has given the tone t o s i m il ar practices to its o wn in France, while our Fi s h monger's flail and other such places, derive their Rouge et Noir, their liazard,! and Blind Hookey, from the orgies of the Falai, Royal. Of all national rivalries these are the most disreputable; And 'instead of them, we should be glad to see a determination on each side of the Channel to check and to decry such receptacles of vice and forerunners of national disgrace and Individual ruin, as all these places present. We hope and believe that the examples which have been made of some of the keepers of gaming houses, aided by the warnings and pub. licity which the Press has given to the subject, have had the effect of very much diminishing the shameless practices at home, but, unfortunately, the gamblers at the City Hall are quite impervious to shame ; and as the tread-mill has not yet reach. ed them (though there is no knowing how soon it may), their goings on are quite as rife, as shame. less, as disreputable, and as ruinous as ever. As long as these people play the game of those who wish to see. a fi-ctitiourprice maintained in the Funds, we despair of seeing any- effectual remedy applied. We do not ourselves, under. stand o nor do we envy the perverted taste of those who profess to do so, how any fair national object can he properly combined with a system of public plunder such as our Stock ,Exchange exhibits. We have heretofore said, and have no hesitation in repeating it as our belief, that not one-tenth of the bargains which take place, at the Stock Exchange are bona fide transactioias, but that. en.. the contraryi' full nine-tenths - of them are mere gambling affairs, in which the initiated and the uninitiated, in this precious hotbed of profligacy, swindle and cheat. each other—ilie very same pedple too at the very same time, or some of them at least, subscribing to Bible Societies, to Missionaries, and other seemingly pious and charitable institu tions, in which the cheaters of thousands purchase for a guinea an imaginary absolution for a life of plunder. The mischief which- this union 'of cor ruption and hypocrisy produces. in society is in. calculable. The laws• r wage war against petty swindlers, while swindlers by wholesale assume the tone and character of "in'en of virtue and tegrity ; and while the paltry . villain _pays the full penalty of his crimes, this greater rogue boldly' braves — bath the laws and public scorn, and palms himself upon the world as a man of honour and is public benefactor. pRE95 7 1., The French Papers received last night contain rumours of a COntradietory nature that have been in circulation respecting Russian .affairs.

The Minister of War presented, on the 22d "of February, Official documents .to the Council of State, *nkh had been transmitted to him by the Captains-General of the Provinces, uaar nimously asserting that the . existence of the. Royalist volunteers is incompatible with public tranquillity. The production of such documents, which even in an official form were considered by some Counsellors as being of A calumnious ten dency, produced a great deal of disturbance in the Council. The King has given orders to ' the different Ministers to withhold all affairs of importance from the consideration of this body, which, constantly opposed as it is to the. Govern. ment, must soon either perish' entirely or become all-powerful. [THE R CPR ES ENTATIVE.) Mr. Huskisson, last night, in the Hous e o f Commons, obtained leave to bring in a Bill, to apply the amended law of Merchant and Factor to any , goods deposited with the Bank, as secu. rity for its advances. The effect of this measure is to enable persons in the possession of goods, although merely factors or agents, to pledge them as effectually us if they were the real owners. To the protection thus afforded to the Bank there can be no valid objections. It has met the wishes of the Government, and the wants of the commercial world, in the most satisfactory manner, and justice requires that it should not suffer by its lib era li ty . I n t h e di scuss i on wh i c h took pla ce upon Mr. Huskisson's motion, it was gratifying to find the efficacy of the means adopt ed for the relief of the recent commercial tress, acknowledged by members of every party in the house. Mr. Buskisson asserted that the arrangement with the Bank had already done great good : confidence was restored, and busi ness wag rapidly recovering its wonted state of activity, M r . B ar i ng wa s o f opinion that th e arra gement with the Bank had already pro duced the greatest benefit, and that a de cided improvement in public confidence had manirested itself within these few days. Mr. Nurse itnd Mr. G renfell were both Serisible of the great benefit derived from the advances of the Bank. The latter stated, that within these few days the money market and commercial world generally were in a tondition of decided recovery. Abercromby, .in 'bearing testi: mony tq the, same .effect, expressed his hearty satisfaction with the conduct of Ministers ie opposing the vicious mode of relief by an issue of Exchequer Bills, which had been pressed upon them, in preference, to the wiser course which they had adopted. We have thus the concurrent testimony of men of all parties to the efficacy of the made of relief afforded by the Bank; the only objection made was confined to merely a regret that it was not sooner adopted. But it does not rest upon the mere authority of these coinciding opinions : however weighty and imposing they maybe, it is satisfac tory to find them corroborated by the experience of every man of business or observation. The last Gazette has not displayed the usual long and terrific list of bankrupts, and a decided proof of returning confidence is evinced in the recent rise in the Funds. We admit, however, that it is matter of regret that a mode of relief which has proved so efficacious, was so long delayed ; and that however beneficial it may have proved to the smaller Manufacturers, it is considered by some to be inadequate to the wants of those houses who hold the great bulk of property now nearly unsaleable. [THE PUBLIC LEDGEB:I We find by the Hamburgh Papers which ar rived yesterday, that the mission of the Duke of .Wellington to Russia has excited as keen an in terest and given rise to as much speculation in Germany us it had a short time since in thiscoun try., In an article under the head of Berlin, it is stated that it has awakened intense curiosity in that capital, which was sunk in the admiration of the Hero as long as he remained there ; but it broke out with the greater violence at his departure. The general opinion, however; is; that the• Mission is of a decidedly pacific character; but, be the object what it may, in its results it will be as honourable ' to this country as beneficial to the rest of Europe. The' man who • conquered for the civilized world the tranquillity it has en joyed for the last ten years,. is the fittest that could • have been selected for the purpose of ,securing it ten years- longer; and the' appoint ment is only another Instance of the fine tact of Mr. Canning in suiting they persons to the : offices which are under his direct con. trout. :Our foreign affairs are so ably di rected at this time, that we should not notice it here, but for the efforts that have been recent 1y made to sow distrust in the public. mind, re- : specting the'snlitlity of our present relations with Foreign Rolifers,:;' , Never were (base relations taie4 upon a more solid principle, and never pertaps was the influence of this country wielded so powerfully and so beneficially at the same time.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. I cOLTRT, (IV,CHANCERY, MARcn O. THE MATTER OF SMITH, A LUNATIC. Mr. SIIADWELL said, that his clients would be able to bring foiward further evidence in reply t o t h e additional affidavits ..sworn on the other side, if they were allowed time to do so; ,and .they *ere satisfied to abide by any interim order pro nounced by . the Court in the mean time.- They were anxious to have an opportunity of doing this, In order to clear their characters. 31r. LOVAT opposed any postponemeni of this petition, on tho ground that when he had made a similar application it was resisted and refused. Having read over the other affidavits, .which had only arrived while he was addressing the Court yesterday, he had now th e pl easure to inform his Lordship, upon the authority of several medical men, that the health of the lunatic was daily improving, and that he had not been visit. ed by a single fit, or exhibited any symptoms of violence, ever since he had been removed to the asylum • neither had he offer ed the slightest oppo s iti on to t h ose who asylum; his linen. SHADIVELL—Has he been shaved ? ' f Ir. LOVAT said, there was no proof of any attempt at shav ing him having been made. But even if there had, and he had resisted it, that afforded no grounds for disbelieving all the other fects-stated in these affidavits, Illr. SHADwELL said, that all he wanted was an opportu nity of answering these additional affidavits. The LORD CHANCELLOR, laving aside every thing that had been stated, except in the affidavits of those who resist. ed this petition, and acknowledging that their conduct to. wards the lunatic had 'been grossly misrepresented, still felt it to be the duty oldie Crown, feebly represented by the humble individual now speaking, to clothe him with the protection of a conimisston. Supposing his family were to apply all the means which they possessed. to the welfare and comfort of the lunatic, it would not be in their power to procure for him those attentions which he might receive in his present situation. He was also bound to say, that the commission had been opposed under circumstances which called an him to discharge the caveat With costs. SnanwEra. asked his Lordship if he did not think his clients were justified In adopting the course they had pursued • for the protection of their characters, after the manner .in which they had been aspersed ? The Loan CHANCELLOR said that that would be a very material consideration, if they could bring home these aspersions to the petition ers . Th ey ( t h e f am il y ) had aright to have it said that the facts had been grievously misrepresented; but he had grounded his decision upon their own affidavits alone, lie would not, however, saddle theM with the costs of the last affidavits. Mr. SHADWELL observed, that if it had not been for the calumnies which had been circulate() against the lunatic's fa mily, no opposition would have been offered to this petition.— Now, however; that they had received their exculpation from the lips of his Lordihip, he was sure they would cheerfully pay those costs whatever they might be. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, they had a right to excul pation at his hands so far as this, that five or six circumstances of aggravation were stated in the publications handed up to him, which were not supported by affidavit; as to the rest, all lie should say was, that he felt it his duty to grant this com mission. Mr. LOVAT was proceeding to ask that the remaining costs should be paid out of the lunatic's estate; but upon receiving a suggestion from his solicitor, the Learncd,Oentleman said that his client waved them. Tile LORD CHANCELLOR was sure he might leave that question to the petitioner's own sense of equity, and the feel ings of his heart. lis Lotman'' was occupied far the remainder of the day in hearing the arguments of Counsel in the case of " Lancaster v. Atkinson " which was a motion in the nature of an appeal from the \ ; ice-Chsncellor's decision. The particulars have already been fully reported to, the public, who will recollect that it was a case in which one sister charged another with having removed from an escrutoire bags of gold belonging to the testator, to the amount of 8171. The LOAD CHANCELLOR said he would take home the papers, and consider what order was best to be mhde, with re. spect to an issue to be tried in a Court of Law. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. An ORDER of AFFILIATION was made by Messrs. Alder. men WAITIIMAN and Lucas yesterday upon. 'lobed Louden, apprentice with Messrs. Tucker and Everitt, drysalters ' Bread street-hill, under rather singular circumstances. Mr.Jobson, the Vestry Clerk of St. Andrew's, Holborn, stated that the mother of the child was dead ; and the only evidence Ite,hati to offer in the place of her oath and identification of the father, where her declarations to others; the conduct of the reputed pa• rent, and corroborating circumstances, such as letters addres sed to her. It was., undoubtedly, a very unusual case th,tis,, a partyshould be fixed with the maintenance of a bastard end without the mother being sworn to the fact of his being the father". but it was not an unprecedented one . ; for, in his own experience, an Attorney in Gray's Inn had appealed against an order of filiation made upon hearsay evidence of other persons, the mother being dead; but the Sessions confi rm ed the order. —Mrs. Harriet Wicks, of Dean-street Fetter-lane, said, that Elizabeth Scarlett was brought to bed of the child in ques tion.in her house, on the 4th of January. On the 6th ofJanu ary, the husband of witness called on young Mr. Lowden, a sand on the same evening Mr. Lowden called at her house, and w Elizabeth Scarlet; witness said to him, " You have a son come to town !" lie said, " Have I?" He afterwards gave the young woman 11., and sent her sage , arro w root, &Co called several times during her accouchcment, and on one occa sion he said, " I wonder what my father would say, if he knew that his youngest son was the father of a child before his eldest ?" The young woman died in three weeks after she gays birth to the child.--Mr. 'Wicks, the husband, in some degree confirmed her evidence. He stated, that when he called " Mr. Lowden, he told him " that ho had a son come to win. Lowden replied, " I know Elizabeth, but of the child 110 0 nothing." He also said he would do the best for the chiltlf but could not take it himself.—Mr. Lowden, a solicitor,. Ana brother of the reputed father, contended there was not evidence upon which the Magistrates could make an order of aflinglono Messrs. Alderman IVAITHIAN and LUCAS expressed thew selves satisfied with the evidence, and ordered a week lOW paid towards the support of the infant.—Mr. Lowden, the sod licitor, said he should appeal against the order. . • BOW-STREET. E XTENSI VE ROBBERY AT GLASOOW...-00 Tneiday night, about seven o'clock, a gentleman connected with the house of a highly respectable merchant, at Glasgow, applied at this Office, and informed the sitting Magistrate of the following facts, at the same time soliciting his aasistance to discover thr, offender :—The applicant stated, that a young gentleman, o f name of George Crane, the nephew and confidential clerk of his uncle, a merchant at Glasgow, had a few days sr au scooded, carrying with him sovereigns and notes, anim a° ing to 8201., and - a bill for 2801., the property of his uncle.-- The delinquent, it was discovered, had taken the London a ' road, and the applicant, from subsequent inquiries, had evell e reason to believe that he had arrived in London bye ef!td Northern coaches.
